eBill
eBill is a Swiss system for electronic invoicing directly in your e-banking. Unlike the QR-bill (which must be scanned), the eBill invoice appears automatically in your e-banking. You check the amount and approve the payment with a single click — no scanning, no typing, no forgetting.
eBill is operated by SIX and supported by more than 100 Swiss banks. For billers, eBill offers higher payment rates (because you never lose an invoice), faster payment (one click instead of a bank transfer), and lower dunning costs. Receivers can set up permanent approvals to pay recurring invoices automatically.
For merchants with recurring invoices (subscriptions, membership fees, insurance, telecom), eBill is particularly attractive. Integration requires a connection to the eBill network — either directly or via a billing partner. eBill is a purely Swiss solution and is not compatible with e-invoicing standards of other countries.
eBill examples
A telecommunication company sends monthly invoices via eBill. Customers see the invoice in their e-banking and pay with just one click.
An insurance company switches to eBill and reduces its dunning rate by 35% because invoices no longer get lost in the mail.
A gym uses eBill for monthly membership fees. Members set up a permanent approval — the payment is made automatically.
